An art journal is a journal or diary that has an artistic spin, an expression of your creativity and imagination. It's a journal for using art, to express yourself visually as well as in written form. How you create the art and what type of imagery you make or use, is personal choice. There are no rules. You can paint, collage or draw, use pens to doodle and write, play with photos, patterned papers, ephemera or stickers... anything goes. An art journal is a place to explore techniques and supplies, a personal artistic journey. Remember the journal can be just for you, or you can make it for someone special.
In this class we will make a journal using a simple booking binding technique. We will begin to explore ways to express ourselves creatively within these pages.
Bring any photos, found object, or anything that inspires that you may want to incorporate into your journal.
